We give thanks to God and the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . for the hope which is laid up for you in
heaven. (Colossians 1:3;5)
A great many persons imagine
that anything said about heaven is only a matter of speculation. They talk
about heaven much as they would about the air. Now there would not have been so
much in Scripture on this subject if God had wanted to leave the human race in
darkness about it. “All Scripture,” we are told, “is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect—thoroughly
furnished unto all good works.”
What the Bible says about heaven
is just as true as what it says about everything else. The Bible is inspired. What
we are taught about heaven could not have come to us in any other way than by
inspiration. No one knew anything about it but God, and so if we want to find
out anything about it we have to turn to His word.
